Last month Behar derided Pence for saying he communicates with Jesus through prayer.

“Like I said before, it’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you,” Behar said. “That’s called mental illness, if I’m not correct. Hearing voices.”

“My question is can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his wife in the room?” she added, referencing Pence’s policy of not dining alone with another woman if his wife is not there, too. [Video]

Pence objected to the segment, calling it an attack on all Christians: "To have ABC maintain a broadcast forum that compared Christianity to mental illness is just wrong. And it’s an insult not to me, but to the vast majority of the American people who, like me, cherish their faith"
